EK Waterblocks Launches EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB Distro Plate
EK, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is launching the EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB, a reservoir, routing, and pump solution specifically engineered for Corsair Obsidian 1000D case. This distro plate is made to provide a unique water-cooling solution with dual D5 pumps for users who demand premium aesthetics, silence, and enough flow for multiple GPUs or even dual systems in one case.
This distribution plate is designed to bring the slim-lined EK Quantum aesthetics to the front of the 1000D case and to offer high flow and silent operation thanks to two serially connected genuine D5 pumps. While it is slim, it's absolutely massive in surface and weighs in at a whopping 5.3 kilograms. EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 distribution plate will only fit the Corsair Obsidian 1000D Super-Tower.The distro plate takes up both frontal radiator mounting positions, leaving room for two thick XE 480 mm radiators in the top. Three metal brackets come with this Reflection waterway - two are used to mount it to the front telescoping radiator tray. The third is used, if your loop is utilizing soft tubing, to connect the top and front radiator trays, allowing you to pull them out together.This water distribution plate comes with a pair of powerful and silent, PWM-controlled genuine D5 pumps and built-in addressable D-RGB LED strip that runs down the entire length of the unit while anodized black aluminium cover hides the unwanted LED hotspots.Availability and Pricing
EK-Quantum Reflection Obsidian 1000D D5 PWM D-RGB distribution plate is made in Slovenia, Europe and is available for order through EK Webshop or EK Partner Reseller Network for €699.99.

I don't even start about pointlessly convoluted fluid channels.
Oh and I would love to see people doing regular maintenance on this. That's whole day of unscrewing bolts, polishing and then putting it back together without o-rings flexing and cracking/stripping the acrylic threads... hold my beer, I'll get the popcorn too. :D
Their older distro plates were not like this at all.
Literally the only thing these new distro plates have going for them is that they use D5s ... but that does not necessitate appalling design of the distro plates' channels and connections.
